(whoops - I never hit publish).
Second to last week of taper for Grandma's. It's been fairly warm and humid here for the last week (of course, recognizing that all weather is relative). I struggled some on Tuesday's workout (temp/dew point both were 75 degrees) - the workout was supposed to be five 800s and then some 400s; I dropped out of the fifth 800 and made up the difference with 400s and 200s to get something out of the workout.
Friday's tempo was memorable as well. It started as a warm and humid tempo, with a light refreshing rain. Sometime in the second mile, the rain turned heavy, and it was a deluge by the third mile. Comical. There was a part of me that wanted to bail on the workout, but....I was already soaked, so quitting wouldn't have made any difference.
Fortunately, as of now the forecast for Duluth is looking much better than the weather down here. Let's hope it stays that way.
Monday: Upper body weights/core, DIY yoga, and 6 "miles" of pool-running. Foam rolling at night.
